Intermediate l 6 Weeks Wheel Throwing Course l Various Start Dates

This 6 week course is suitable for intermediate students. We advise that students who are joining feel comfortable centering 1kg of clay and pulling walls evenly. 

In our intermediate class you will be working with more clay, focusing on refining process, thinner walls and base, collaring in and larger vessels. You will be focusing on more challenging projects such as closed shapes, moon jars, bottles...

What you will have the opportunity to learn or improve on:

• Throwing with more clay
• Closed shapes
• Bottles
• Lidded vessels
• Surface decoration

What's included:

• We will provide all materials throughout the course. All of our students use our studio white or buff stoneware clay, and have access to a full range of tools and glazes.
• The glazing and firing of up to 6 pieces (extra pots are charged at £5 per small pot and £10 for bigger pots).
• Up to 3 hours Independent studio time (untaught), to practice your new skills on a day and time that suits you. These sessions can be booked after your course with your own unique code.

Good to know!

-Please bring your own apron and tea towel or small cloth to each lesson.
-Short nails are much easier to work with as long nails can make it challenging to handle clay.
-Jewellery and watches off!
-Don’t come in your Sunday best, working with clay can be vey messy!
-As it is the case in most studios, whilst the rest of your piece will be glazed by us after the first firing, the base of your piece will remain bisque. This means it won’t be covered by glaze. 
-It takes up to 6 weeks for your glazed ceramics to be ready to collect. They need to be fired twice and glazed before you can take them home!
